Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 27th year in the
classic and muscle car business. The Chrysler Imperial was
introduced in 1926 as Chrysler's flagship luxury vehicle. The
Imperial name was used on various high-end models until 1955 when
Chrysler registered it as separate division under the Chrysler
Corporation, much as Ford would do with Lincoln two years later.
Unfortunately, the public perceived the car as a Chrysler, which
resulted in poor sales for the unique, high-quality marque. This
wild 1961 Imperial Crown Southampton Hardtop Sedan is an
outstanding example of these unusual automobiles. Beneath the
expansive hood is a Mopar masterpiece, the stout 413 V8, which
moves this big sled with alacrity. Additional features include
power steering, power brakes, A727 TorqueFlite automatic
transmission with push button control, correct paint and trim
codes, torsion bar front suspension, Jetson's-like square steering
wheel and dash layout, dual exhaust, 2.93 highway gears, AM radio,
rare electroluminescent dash lighting, and 225/75R15 tires wrapped
around steel wheels with correct polished covers. The famous
stylist Virgil Exner was responsible for wild styling cues like the
free-standing headlights, tail lights, and massive fins. Speaking
of massive, the Imperial would be the longest non-limousine car
made in America through 1966. If this truly unique land yacht
belongs in your fleet, call the Texas Hill Country's premier source
